Hehe. It's interesting to think about these: * unicode -- I think the naysayers would win here because there are way more people today who understand the security and complexity issues surrounding the topic than those who understand the details of why unicode and the various encodings work the way they do * gnu -- this would be a great challenge to the naysayers. But I think it could be done if the naysayers really studied the hardware of the time and could ask pointed questions that a Stallman impersonator couldn't answer. * fftw - "hey we're gonna build a library that queries at runtime for whatever SIMD instructions are available on the user's computer and choose the fastest algo." Yeah right. :) The possibilities are bounded but many.
